  • Must be one of the quitest A roads in Britain as well!

  • crap MUSIC

  • If you look at the bottom on the way up, it says 1 in 4, but I have been told its also a 1 in 3 in parts. Try it with new brakes, GREAT.

  • Try it with new brakes 

  • It's brilliant- very nearly as steep as Hardknott Pass in Cumbria.

  • My Grand dad did this hill in a bus with no brakes , only riding the gears and clutch !

  • @mrslovesit No its a 1 in 4, and a 1 in 3 at places, and it really is the steepest hill in England, have you driven it? If you do, remember....take a fresh pair of pants.

  • Claire Balding did Porlock on a bike, wow, shes a tough old bird! Deserves a medal!

  • After the near death experience of Porlock Hill, we made our way along to Coombe Martin, where there are no less than FIVE BRAKE AND TYRE businesses in a row along the high street!

    I had only just had my brakes renewed for the journey, so the were slipping....the car was just rolling backwards and I had children in the back, it was HELLLLLL!

  • we came down it yesterday i bout crapped myself , the worst hill i have ever experienced in my life , there was smoke coming from our brakes we had to pull over and let them cool down , i will not be ever coming down there again,
